There are just three games on the docket this weekend, but all of them will have big playoff implications. Both the New York Red Bulls and Sporting Kansas City can clinch a playoff berth with wins and a Red Bulls victory would officially decide the playoff field for the East, if not the exact seeding. The Vancouver Whitecaps, New York's guests on the evening, can gain a top-two seed should they win.

Further west, Sporting can not only clinch, but eliminate Midwest rivals Minnesota with a win, while Colorado's game against FC Dallas could potentially determine whether the Loons live to fight another day – not to mention the gravity of the occasion for Dallas, even if their playoff fate won't be officially determined this week.
